Cutting hPSC Production Time By 66%
Eric Shusta | Via Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News | April 9, 2025Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) typically take between 9 and 15 days to differentiate into vascular endothelial cells. At their most productive, only about 60% actually differentiate. A new method reduces that time to only five days, delivers 99% differentiation, and, according to the researchers, is easy and scalable. This two-stage approach was developed by […]
Your skin is breathing. This new wearable device can measure it.

New thromboinflammation-on-a-chip model may revolutionize treatment of harmful blood clots
Wilbur Lam | Via News-Medical.Net | April 3, 2025Blood clots are associated with life-threatening conditions such as sepsis, sickle cell disease, heart attack, and stroke. However, new research from Emory University may revolutionize how clinicians understand and treat these harmful blood clots, or thrombi, a byproduct of a condition called thromboinflammation. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers have discovered the potential […]
World’s Smallest Pacemaker is Activated by Light
Igor Efimov | Via Northwestern University | April 2, 2025Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so small that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe — and be non-invasively injected into the body, according to a new study published in Nature. Although it can work with hearts of all sizes, the pacemaker is particularly well-suited to the tiny, fragile hearts of […]
